Family advocacy services support children and their families after a child may have experienced abuse or trauma. Advocates help families understand the process—like medical exams, interviews, or court—and connect them with resources such as counseling, legal help, or emergency support. They also provide emotional support, answer questions, and make sure families don’t feel alone during a difficult time. The goal is to reduce stress, help families feel empowered, and ensure the child’s needs are met every step of the way.
